IMPROVEhMENT IN PAPER COLLARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 101,855, dated April12, 1870.

To all whom it may concern.-

Bc it known that I, GUsTAvUs ADoLPHUs GoLDsMrrH, of the city, county,and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Paper Collars and Like Articles; and I hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing, which represents a paper collar made inaccordance with my invention.

Paper collars, cuffs, and like articles are usually made either with asmooth finish, or with a finish intended to imitate linen-that is tosay, with fine cross-1ines in imitation of the fiber or texture oflinen. A paper finished in either of these ways does not resemblea linencollar, however, for the reason that when the latter is ironed its edgeor border, and its body differ from each other in appearance, the borderhaving a smooth and highlypolished finish, in which it is difficult todetect the lines 0f thread or fiber, While the body has less luster, andshows plainly the crosslines or the texture of the material of which itis formed, so that, no matter how perfect may bethe finish of a papercollar, so long as it does not present the two different styles offinish which mark a linen collar, the dierence between'the two collarsis very apparent; and the same difference is noticeable with respect topaper cuffs and other like articles of wear made of paper, and intendedto imitate linen or other fabric.

My invention is designed to remove this difliculty; and to this end itconsists of a paper collar or other like article the edge or border ofwhich is made with a smooth and highly-polished finish, to imitate thecorrespondingly smooth and highly-finished parts of a linen collar orlike article, While the body is made with a linen iinish,77 so called,or with cross-lines, to imitate the ber or texture of the correspondingportion of linen article. The paper collar or other like article, inaccordance with my invention, may be formed of any material suitable forthe purpose, and may be enameled in any manner, and with any enamelingcomposition known or used, as Will be fully understood, without furtherexplanation, by those skilled in the art to which my invention relates.

The dies, rolls, or other means by which the collar or other article ispressed and stamped with the imitation stitching, Ste., may be of anyordinary or suitable construction, being so formed as to give the propersmooth finish and the linen finish to the different portions of thearticle, as above explained. In short, the process of manufacture of myimproved collar differsin no respect from the processes o1"- dinarily inuse, the only difference being inthe Vdies or other like means, whichare so made as to impress the collar or paper from which it is made withthe peculiar finish herein specied. f

In the drawing the smooth and highly-iin` ished border is shown at a,and the linen-finished body at b. The collar represented is a turn-downcollar, but it is needless to say that my invention is applicable to anyform of co1- lar,- as well as to cuffs and like articles made of paperin imitation of linen or other fabric.

Having now described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent,

As a new article of manufacture, a paper collar or like article madewith a smooth or highly-finished border or edge, and a linen orequivalently finished body, substantially as shown and set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification beforetwo subscribing witnesses.
